May 10th - June 11, 2008
Reception & Demonstration: Saturday, May 10th, 11:00am - 2:00pm
Allards & Second Saturday Art Tours are proud to present the artwork
of Kathleen Mattox. Kathleen is a local artist from Sanger. She painted
while in college and has been part of many creative endeavors over the
last 30+ years since college. She only returned to watercolor in the year 2000.
Most of her works begin with watercolor and then go on to incorporate
other media such as permanent pen, gel pen, textured paper, magazine
photos, modeling paste, watercolor crayon, opaque paint, metallic paint,
gesso etc. In addition to loving a lot of color, she is especially drawn to
the elements of line and texture. Most of her works are large, usually
full sheet watercolors. In the past year or so, she has begun to further
explore acrylics, oils, and pastels and incorporating them into her current
watermedia collages. She finds herself most drawn to mixed media works
and experimental collages. Wanting her works to be fun for herself and her
viewers, she is not afraid to experiment and "play" as she explores new
subjects, ideas, and processes. Her subject matter tends to be impressionistic,
expressionistic, and/or abstract rather than realistic. She likes to work in
series, returning to the same subjects over time. Musical themes permeate
many of her compositions, as well as clocks, Italian hill towns, the Madonna
and child, and abstract geometric shape compositions. In her demo on
Saturday, May 10th, she will work on several pieces that are already "in progress"
and focus on adding to a mixed media collage that she will design and work on
that day. She will be showing works in several media during the month's show
at Allard's.
You are invited to join us on May 10th for a free reception at Allards.
